Re: JDPNYY's Question of the day #233 - Tuesday 11/17/09

I'd like to bet anyone that the vast majority of frowning freds either 1) just dont post on a message board like this or 2) won't be self-aware enough to know that they're that kind of pessimistic frowning miserably bitter person who frowns more than smiles.

turn that frown upside-down, my friend..... Life can be hard at times, but strangely enough, if you make an effort to smile, it sometimes works from the outside in. Try it.... what have you got to lose?

Neither. I'm pretty stoic.

Its somewhat rare that I out-and-out smile. I'm more of a chuckle-and-grin type. On the other hand, it's also pretty rare that I frown. I might mope a bit when badness happens, but generally won't frown.

All that being said, I certainly think I grin more often than I mope, but smiling and frowning are too statistically insignificant to compare frequency.
